Looking at that old package, there is a .desktop that contains Name=Terminal there but it's not konsole: ./usr/share/kde4/apps/kappfinder/apps/System/Terminal/aterm.desktop:Name=Terminal I'm going to be looking into getting rid of the EOL release builds next week so this will probably cease to be a problem but I do wonder if this is a bug. Is kappfinder just using the .desktop format to keep its own database? Should the pkgdb import script just scan for files in regex: /usr/share/applications/.*\.desktop Let me know if that's the case and I can probably find where the code is scanning for .desktop files and fix it. -Toshio
